A notice of meeting published by the Council of the European Union schedules a meeting of the Africa Working Party for 15 July 2026 at 10:00 in the Justus Lipsius Building in Brussels. The agenda covers four country-specific items: Cabo Verde, Guinea, Nigeria, and Sudan, with PMG Delegates invited to join the discussion on Cabo Verde.
The Africa Working Party is a Council preparatory body that deals with EU relations with sub-Saharan African countries. The meeting will begin with the adoption of the agenda, followed by separate discussions on each of the four countries. The inclusion of PMG Delegates for the Cabo Verde item suggests a focus on political, military, or security aspects, as the PMG (Political and Military Group) typically addresses Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) matters. The meeting format is listed as "1+1," indicating each delegation may bring one expert.
No prior coverage of this specific meeting exists in the available record. The meeting is scheduled to take place in the Council's Justus Lipsius Building, Rue de la Loi 175, 1048 Brussels. Contact for the meeting is coafr@consilium.europa.eu.
